Title - Let Your Light Shine
Teacher:- Deaconess Colette Wolfe
Main Text:- Matthew 5:6
In the main text, Jesus encourages us to allow our light shine so that people can see Christ in us.
When Christ says, "let your light shine: what does he mean?
1) He wants us to be compassionate: Luke 10:30-34
Just like the story of the merciful Samaritan. He saw someone in need and did not walk away Luke 10:30-34
2) Do not be fearful - Numbers 13:30-32, Luke 1:30, 2 Tim 1:7
3) Do not show doubt (as this breaks God's heart) Luke 1:18-20
Zachariah, doubted the possibility of having a child at his old age. This was displeasing to God. Do we doubt God when things are not going our way? James 1:5-8, Prov 28:20
4) Show Faith (By truly believing in Him) - Heb 11:6
5) Abstain from Anger Gen 4:5, James 1:20, Eph 4:31-32, Prov 10.12, 1 cor 13:4-5
6) Walk before Him - Eph 5:8
7) Abstain from Hatred 1 John 4.8, 1 John 1:9
8) Show love Matt 5:16, 1 Cor 13:4-7, 1 Cor 13:13
